Notes:
James Cole came with his father to Plymouth in 1633. He moved to Scituate, and from there to York, Maine, and probably from there to Kennebuck, Maine, where he remained but a short time, as he was admitted as freeman of Plymouth in 1654. He was surveyor of highways in Plymouth in 1656; he held this office again in 1678 and 1685. He was the representative for Plymouth in 1690. He purchased property from his father in 1668, including the inn or public house, which business he kept for many years. Judge Sewell, in his diary under date of March 8, 1698, says: "I get to Plymouth about noon and stop at Coles. This house was built by Governor Winslow and is the oldest in Plymouth.
(From: E. B. Cole. Jame Cole of Plymouth. Grafton Press, Genealogical Publishers, New York; 1908. page 25.)
"It is recorded that on 31 Jun 1706 he joined the Plymouth church, just three years before his death."
Notes:
While it seems reasonably certain that Winfield Dyer Gallup's _____ great grandmother, Mary Cole, was a child of Mary Tilson, it is certain that not all of James Coles' children were by Mary. Some of them were by his second wife, Abigail Davenport. As there appears to be a ten year break between James' children Nathaniel and Martha it could be that this was the point of division.
Notes:
Ann arrived in America before April 1634, probably with her father, because on that date only her mother, two sisters and one brother arrived. Ann is widely contended to be the daughter of Willam Hammond and Elizabeth Paine but this very open to conjecture at this point. Evidence exists to either accept or reject the contention.
A contention that Ann (or Anne) Hammond was the second wife of John Lothrop has three sources of support but these all result from interpretations of notes in Rev. Lothrop's journal which are unclear on this point.
The first is the research by Amos Otis for his book Genealogial Notes of Barnstable Families; 2 volumes in one; 1888/90; reprinted Geneal Publ Co 1979, 1991. In his journal, Rev. Lothrop calls her Wid. Ann Hammond but under Samuel Howes (II:55) he points out that Rev Lothrop referred to "Elizabeth Hammon, my sister, having a dismission from the church in Watertown, was joined [to his church] April 14, 1636. She was not a sister of his church, unless she joined in London by age 13, which is unlikely. He used "sister" for members, but never elsewhere used "my" without a relationship. Otis concludes Ann must be a daughter of William, sister of Elizabeth.
The second comes from Dr. Roland Hammond, in his Hammond Genealogy, published in 1894. He uses the quotation from Rev. Lothrop's Journal to establish a connection in his own line through the family of William Hammond, of Watertown, who is supposed to have been connected with his line in some way. In a note on page 9 of his work he says, "Rev. John Lothrop established a church at Scituate Harbor, Mass., and afterwards at Barnstable, Mass. He is said to have married for his second wife, Anne, widow, daughter of William Hammond, of Watertown, Mass., and had Barnabas, Abigail, Bathshua and John.
The third support for Anne Hammond comes from the illustrious genealogist John Savage who called her "Anne, daughter of William Hammond of Watertown". Savage, like the others have taken the entry in Rev. Lothrop's record referring to Elizabeth Hammond, wife of Samuel Howse (or House), as "sister" to mean John's second wife Anne was Anne Hammond, Elizabeth's sister. Instead, he was probably referring to Elizabeth as "sister" because her husband was his brother-in-law, the brother of Lothrop's first wife, Hannah Howse.
Next to the genealogy data files of LDS Church, the largest on-line data base file is the Worldconnect Project sponsored by RootsWeb.com. This data base comprises at this writing 370 million names of which nearly 4 million are different surnames. I Searched this data base for a wife of Rev. John Lothrop and turned up 155 genealogies which assign her the maiden name "Hammond", 112 genealogies which do not assign any maiden name for her, and 5 which give her the maiden name Ann (or Anne) Dimmock. After considerable effort I have concluded that 155 of these researchers are likely wrong; Anne Hammond was probably not the second wife of Rev. John E. Lothrop.
The marriage to John Lothrop based on Dr. Roland Hammond's Hammond Genealogy of 1894, was considered "far from convincing" by the author of the later Hammond genealogy: "History and Genealogies of the Hammond Families in America" Vol 1, published 1904. That genealogy shows Anne, daughter of William Hammond to have married (1) Timothy Hawkins of Watertown who died 1650 or 1651 and (2) Ellis Barron of Watertown. Barron was frequently written "Barnes", making her the daughter Barnes mentioned in the will of William Hammond. There is no mention of an Ann Lothrop in William Hammond's will, and the Ann who married John Lothrop was still living at that time.
Rev. John Lothrop and second wife Ann had children Barnabas, John, and Abigail. In his will, John made bequests "To my wife, my new dwelling house.... To the rest of the children, both mine and my wife's, each a cow." This indicates this wife survived him, and that she had been previously married. Genealogist Wakefield, in his "Additions and Corrections to Torrey's Marriages", identifies her as Anne Dimmock, who is thought to have died in 1661 in Situate, Plymouth Co., MA.
